It worked for me for Amazon with private internet access, brave browser and tor network enabled within the browser. ---

Hmmmm I’ve tried with Brave and the VPN activated to get the Turkish IP address but that still fails, if the VPN endpoint is detected I don’t see how I can spoof the location to make it believe I’m not in CH ? Anything I miss here ? ---

Thanks a lot that worked 🙂 1. Get Hola Browser and use the free version 2. Create the account on Netflix Turkey 3. Get some Netflix TL gift cards from [g2a.com](http://g2a.com) and redeem Unfortunately I was not able to add my credit card but who cares, as long as the gift card trick works. As a result I canceled my NordVPN test subscription right away, it seems Netflix has banned their IP blocks. ---

I added the gift card but then he complains that there’s an issue with the credit card. Adding the credit card is not mandatory you can anyway skip that step as long as you have a valid gift card. ---

1. Register at Netflix/log in into your account with CH IP 2. Take the cheapest subscription. 3. Save your credit card details (ideally neon, Revolut, ….) 4. Cancel subscription after couple of days. 5. Once your subscription log into your account again, with a foreign IP (I suggest TR). 6. Buy a TRY 100 voucher/gift card, save it in your account as payment alternative. DO NOT delete your Visa/Master which you saved in step three. 7. The first month, the subscription is paid by gift card, in the second month partially by credit card (do not top up your voucher). 8. Enjoy not having the hassle anymore with buying vouchers. ---

Would it be possible to split again this thread so that all the posts related to cheating streaming services get their own thread? They have really diluted the value of this one. ---

> [@Giff](#): > > I was hoping some mod would share my frustration and instead move all the cheat-the-streaming-services messages to a different thread. This thread became “cheat-the-streaming-services” thread because no other things were discussed at least for 3 years, as far as I can see. In general, you can see it in many old threads that were supposed to be about “everything” but overgrew themselves because this forum might have grown more than the administration have originally expected. I have already closed the introduction thread (and nobody had protested). I don’t think we need a new “all life hacks” thread. If there is something that you want to discuss specifically, just continue one of specific threads or start a new one. ---

I have a small automotive “life hack:” I’ve begun to pay parking spaces with Twint, as I try to carry as little cash with me as possible. It must be linked with an app called Parkingpay. The nice thing is that it’s possible to cancel the parking time ahead of time and then only the actual parking time is debited. So, if I don’t know if I’ll be there for 30 minutes or longer, I just book a full hour and cancel when I leave. And if I leave after only five minutes, then only five minutes will be charged. ---

Regarding TV shows and movies, I went down the road of implementing a Raspberry Pi with [Sonarr](https://sonarr.tv), [Radarr](https://radarr.video) & [Plex](https://www.plex.tv). Requires some basic Unix skills to set it up on a Raspberry Pi, but can also be done by any normal users on a PC or a Mac. ---

Sounds like a good plan. I just use uBlock Origin but I always wondered if it makes sense to implement the same solution you have, only maybe with a cheap vps.
